We appreciate your participation in and promotion of the first Disaster Philanthropy Playbook (#CDPPlaybook) Twitter chat on the new community crises & tragedies strategy. Please use and share this engagement guide with anyone who would benefit from the Playbook in general and this strategy in particular.

How to participate

A Twitter chat is a group of Twitter users meeting at a specified time to discuss a topic using a designated hashtag, in our case #CDPPlaybook. Our hosts will pose a series of questions using Q1, Q2, etc., to prompt participants to interact by posting corresponding responses A1, A2, etc.

Here’s how to get started:

  • First, you will need to set up a free Twitter account if you don’t have one already. It is simple and will allow you to participate in future CDP Twitter chats.
  • To join the Playbook chat on December 6, just log into Twitter before 1 pm ET, and type in #CDPPlaybook in the search box to pull up the discussion. If you want to streamline your participation, you should check out platforms like TweetChat or Twubs.
  • During the chat, remember to include the hashtag #CDPPlaybook and mention the hosts when appropriate:
  • Use @givingforum for the Forum of Regional Association of Grantmakers
  • Use @funds4disaster for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy
  • If you’ve never participated in a Twitter chat, you might want to practice first by checking out onefrom these general listings: TweetReports and Twubs Chat Schedule.
